āUS President Donald Trump on Wednesday delivered an incoherent primetime address in which he threatened to bomb Iran āback to the Stone Agesā while also claiming negotiations to end the conflict were ongoing, remarks that provided no clear indication of when or how the illegal war of choice would end.
āTrumpās speech marked his first major address on the war since the US, in partnership with Israel, started bombing Iran more than a month ago, without congressional approval and in violation of international law. A day after declaring that Iran ādoesnāt have to make a dealā to end the war, Trump said during his Wednesday speech, āIf there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneouslyāāa grave war crime.
āCollin Rees, US campaign manager at the advocacy group Oil Change International, said in a statement that āTrumpās rambling lies canāt conceal how his reckless, illegal war of aggression is sending energy prices for working families through the roof.āā
Nor is there any evidence that her laugh caused her defeat.
The point is that the liberal has to choose: did the āmoral high groundā leftists cost her the election, and thus have the power to sway elections - or did the leftists NOT have the power to sway the election, and thus liberals should be quite about the āmoral high groundā leftists?
Edit: and your point is also dubious. Itās known that Kamalaās refusal to break from Bidenās policies was a huge part of what cost her the election - bad enough that the DNC was recently in the news for hiding the Kamala campaign autopsy.

Thank you for this!
Iāve said it before, and Iām happy to repeat it now, I really wish I lived in the country youāre talking about, where people cared more about other people than themselves, but we really donāt. We can probably cherry pick stats all day (lies, damn lies, statistics), but 54% of Biden->Someone not Harris voters said her Gaza policy made no difference. 10% said itād make them less likely. Thatās 64% of that uncaptured demographic that chose someone other than her for a completely unrelated reason. Other top 3 issues: 24% - The economy 12% - Medicare and Social Security 11% - Immigration and border security
Seems like those are people who want less of dem policies, not more of them. Also, the above is just voters who voted for not Kamala. There were plenty of people who stayed home because they simply didnāt like her (black/woman/maybe Israel policy) and didnāt care enough to vote for someone else.
To be clear, anyone blaming leftists is just whining. Kamala failed to do the thing she was supposed to (win) and they see that as other peopleās fault and not hers. At the end of the day she either got the votes or she didnāt. If they think thereās nothing she couldāve said/done to get the leftist vote, then they donāt have to blame her. In reality, she couldāve EARNED those votes and she didnāt. Maybe it wouldāve cost her other votes. I donāt know for sure, but either way it was her decision and she chose not to.

Also, pretty sure the laugh thing is a meme. They used the sarcasm indicator, so Iām pretty sure theyāre being glib.
